cfg80211: fix locking and lockdep complaints
To call cfg80211_get_chan_state() we need to lock the wdev, so we need to lock the wdev_iter mutex in cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan(). This needs to use nested locking for lockdep. Also, cfg80211_get_chan_state() doesn't actually use the rdev, so remove that completely including the lock assertion that isn't needed.
